Ok, but it won't stay on your chain after more than 30km/h
Very useful video just part with changing springs to be corect with driver need probably video for itself.... how to know what to buy brand and specifications, where to buy,... even maybe how to install and what about garanties of producer in case that modifikacation-upgrade. Pozdrav brate!
Thanks, man! I have such a video: ua-cam.com/video/7GhCd0euGGA/v-deo.html
Based on title you could have went in many different directions. This is honestly one of the best motorcycle videos I’ve seen. Mental health is so important. Thank you ❤
Glad to hear it!
Great pieces of advice. Don´t do anything for likes (unless this is your profession). Your avatar don´t have to be fed everyday, never get hurt, sick or robbed at gunpoint in some hostile country and it´s indestructible. You are not. And big trails are VERY heavy specially when you are alone in the middle of nowhere. Then you´ll miss your car, your family and your boring routine.
Thanks for taking the time!
That is a lots of miles mate you like adventure riding enjoy my friend
I bought it to ride it!
I love your videos . After been out of motorcycling for 20 years and without a bike license I got a piaggio MP3 400 have it 1 year and have 12,000 km on it . I’m driving true the Black Forest then to Switzerland from Ireland right now and it’s been amazing. I will apply for my test and get back on 2 wheels but it’s not affecting my current journey in any way. When I parked in chamonix France 2 German guys on BMWs nearly passed out when they saw my Irish plate . Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing!
Understand your body n mind capacity n limits and improve in normal way Dont imitate others where they have reached and you need to cross them instantly and it all you do Go in life as your capacities permit by your past n present normal working and it does not mean to break yourself look at him or her where they have reached Its their background n capacity Its your background n capacity So limit yourself What you are What you can be to just keep yourself pleased Instead To keep others please Break yourself for nothing
Thanks for adding!
what I would add at the initial phase, when you said about choosing correct motorcycle, is to chose it to your adventure, not to any. I'm also traveler like you, maybe just with less distance. However when i was choosing motorcycle for my adventures, instead of tenere i choose Tiger 800, because of an engine. while inline 2 gives nice power way low, and inline 3 in triumph is easy to stall, i made some math, and I found out that most of my adventures i ride 6000-8000 km a trip. in most cases its like 2000-3000 km highways there, 2000km spent on various roads visiting places, and back 2000-3000 km highways back, and in those conditions inline 3 is smoother. This is also why i choose 19' front wheel instead of 21' - It's a bit more rougth on more demanding terrain, however when quickly moving on paved roads from turn to turn, i feel difference in handling. So it's worth to listen to you'r advices, hovewer think of them twice if they exactly match to adventers I'm going to ride or not.
Correct, do whatever works for you.
Planning part is an integral part of traveling. Even deciding to travel with out of a plan is an actually a plan! Anyway - planning is fun as well as preparation! Plan don't have to be specific for every day or kilometer but still - it is a plan! Picking a direction and setting time range ( or even no time range ) is a plan!
Exactly!
Personally, I prefer to ride solo. I ride when I like, and where I like, at my own pace.
Good!
Thanks
Any time!
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Classic , totally true and entertaining
Good, thanks!
I think you suggest it for a new driver who is planning for a world trip by bike. Isn't it?
True!
top review! I'm undecided, I'm 57 years old, I tried it today and I liked it very much but I wonder if it's too uncomfortable for my wife for short-range tourism 150/200 km with aluminum suitcases. However, it's true that I left with a smile after trying it!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Pavlin, I purchased a QuadLock phone mount with the vibration dampener for my Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle. I heard that mounting a phone directly to the handlebars could damage the camera. Do you have a vibration dampener on your phone mount?
Probably, but I don't mind, because I use second telephone only for navigation.
You nailed it. Because you're practical and are uninterested in trying to impress the hoards with costly bling. I've been asked, in not so direct words, how I'm good with riding an "ugly" motorcycle. The response is simple. I'll pass you and be out of sight before you can get a good look at what I'm riding. 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Pavlin and thank you! Im watching this while im on a 10000km trip through the Baltics and Scandinavia on my old 1100GS. I couldn't agree more with what you said. Especially with GS guys are getting completely overboard with accessories making an already very heavy bike even heavier. Most mods and accessories are just a cash grab. Good tires, good suspension and good ergonomics... thats all you really need!
Have fun!
People who really travel, buy a motor with a preliminary in-depth research, test it with the aim of discovering possible errors, and only then buy protective equipment and, if it is really necessary, they upgrade it with better parts
True!
Hey Pavel, i have a question, can you set up a tent in a public forest in Bulgaria, we are 2 motorcycles coming from Romania and would like to go camping in the Veliko Tarnovo area. Any advise for us please?
Yes
Why did you replace the stock bash plate and hand guards? I have a T7 myself and they seem to do the job pretty OK-ish
Because they provide much better protection.
Best advice I have heard in a long time “You should work to change your life for better, instead of waiting your motorcycle trips to do it for you” Thanks
Good!
You can get a second motorcycle to meet all your needs too. Example a dual sport and adv bike.
True!
I bought a Moto Guzzi V7 Centenario simply because I liked it and wanted to chug along small country roads at 80 km/h and go on short trips lasting 2 to 3 days. This year or next year I'll visit my daughters in Italy, we'll drink coffee, enjoy the time, I'll show my Moto Guzzi her home country and come back in one piece and full of memories.
Thanks for sharing!
Around 35:00 you say it's jumping like a goat and before you mentioned that you preloaded suspension fully. Why the heck did you then preload suspension fully? That doesn't make any sense at all.
I played with all options, fully preloaded and without any.
Great video with valuable insights and information. In terms of weight the World Rally/Raid goes up to the AT levels which makes it a non favourable option. A tough choice for the new rider IMHO.
Thanks for sharing!
It helped as always, thank you, I wish to visit you at least 15 min if you have time for a handshake and picture. Greetings from România!
I am here for every one who wants to meet me.
I actually spent a significant amount to build up a 2020 Honda CB500X with the Rally Raid Level 2 kit. At the time it was the correct choice for me as the Tenere 700, KTM 790;were just out of reach. Another several thousand dollars by the t8me I got the racks and better bash plates, let alone concerns of the Tenere exhaust mount. Would I do it again? Probably not, but that is because it was three years ago and things have evolved. Is it perfect? No. Am I riding it in rougher places I would not have gone with the T7 or 790? Likely. I see motorcycles as a bell curve. A high peaked narrow bell curve could be for a motocross/trials bike or say an R1. Great for what they are designed for but limited at either end of the curve. an adventure or dual sport bike has a bell curve with wider application from single track to highway, thus the peak must be lower as the curve is broader. A 1250 GS could slide more to the highway side and perhaps some dual track and a DR 650 could slide the other direction with less highway. ultimately, the bell curve can only be 100%, or same area under the curve for any given bike knowing what you are going to do and your expectations are the key to accepting the limitations. I used to have 8 motorcycles in the garage and have drifted down to the CB500X. If money wasn’t a consideration (now retired) I would probably have a slightly larger ADV bike. My 500, when on the highway I have to think more about passing. Yes, I always do think when passing but 50 HP loaded (yes still carrying to much) is a lot different than my 140 HP Ducati. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
While this “Baby Ténéré” is a great all-around performer, it has always lacked the aggressive character and rally-bred style of its larger siblings, such as the Ténéré 700 and XT1200Z Super Ténéré. Recently, a customer brought Marcelo Obarrio of Argentina’s STG Tracker a green, low-mileage 2018 Ténéré 250 with just this issue in mind:
Thanks for taking the time!
There is no dark side of motorcycle traveling.
If you say so...
@@motorcycleadventures like dark side of the moon.
Hi Pavlin, thank you for your well structured presentation of your own (!) experience and learnings. With respect to bike selection, I would like to add two criteria. One: test to lift the bike, just you, no help. Two: make sure the bike is robust enough to be able to continue the trip after, at least, after a low speed crash.
Good points, thanks for adding!
I completely agree on the point around safety, that we need to improve riding skills instead of loading up all tech and electronics on bike. If I do not have good riding skills, none of the gadgets and tech or lights can help me.
Exactly!
i am using a honda CT 125 as my adventure bike.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve ridden bikes since I was ten years old I’m 67 now and still ride. It’s hard to explain but I’m at peace while riding. I don’t need to share it with the world.
Good!
Voice of common sense appreciated, I can see you are immune to marketing ppl😉
Thanks for taking the time!
I think you need to build a new adventure bike......Ktm 990 adv ..Buy and rebuild it.............
No way!
Thanks for the video Pavlin! I only stick to the bare minimum for comfort and protection.
Fair enough!
Good video. I have just changed the side stand spring.Got it from an American company as lazy and trip coming up. Reason , fault light came up and showed up as the side stand ,false fault.. Did research and when I looked at the spring it was very loose and so bounced on bumpy stuff. Hope it helps.
Thanks for sharing!
What if I weight the 80kg that the stock springs were made for, would you still recommend changing them for something else?
No!
We always find time for your videos Pavlin, short or long. 👍👍
Thank you!
According to Harley riders, distance equates to how much ibuprofen you have!😂 Me, I don’t notice any discomfort if I’m having fun …
Fair enough!
thank you
Any time!
i added the top protection mostly so I could add more spotlights. Where I ride its a long way between destinations (600-800km) and if it ever ends up night time the cows, camels and kangaroos at night are dangerous. lightpower has saved me.
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant pavil simple and no b/s.
Thanks, man!

Whatever is good for you!
@@motorcycleadventures 😂 I like you man
Well Pavlin - Traction Control is NOT a luxury, but necessity, for many with less than perfect riding skills, obtaining which, can take a very long time. The CC ( cruise control ) is neither a luxury. I can speak for myself and some people I know, who suffer from "throttle hand numbness" after, even, not very long rides. I need a CC, if I go for an hour + ride ! Squeezing the clutch ( to relief the right hand ) helps, but only if the road is not going up, and it has to be done pretty often.. ....Not to mention the lack of the Slipper Clutch 🤢 .... T700 is a very nice bike, but it is extremely outdated. Yamaha CAN install better electronics and make it overall better - for SAME price + being very reliable, but they DON'T want ! - try find some Tracers 9 that suffer from bad electronics !!! - So, you give very correct advices, but THIS particular bike ( if intended for distant traveling ) is for people who CAN ride VERY, VERY well ! - It is NOT for less experienced riders, or riders with some problems - like myself 🤷♂🤷♂ I am pretty pissed at Yamaha - for being SO stingy !
Fair enough!
